Health & Economic Growth
B. Rivera

In this work, leading international researchers offer theoretical and empirical microeconomic and macroeconomic perspectives on the ways a population's health status affects a country's economic growth.Whereas human capital is a clear determinant of economic growth, it is only recently that health's role in this process has become a focus of serious academic inquiry. By marrying the separate fields of health economics and macroeconomic growth theory, this groundbreaking book explores the explicit mechanisms by which a population's individual and collective health status affects a nation's economic development and performance. International leaders from both fields have contributed original essays that employ theoretical and empirical perspectives on the relationship between health and economic growth, including the relevant interconnections with investment in education, family planning, and productivity.
